PARIS, April 27.-In semi official circles
1t Is believed that Germany desires TO ex

satisfactory settlement, which may render
the dispatch of German documents in the

Majority French newspapers suspect that

Make Your Homes Attractive.

Mothers and fathers who have sons
and daughters growing up, do not al
ways realize as tney should the great ne
cessity of making home not merely a
place in which their children eat, sleep,
and are clothed, but one in which they
find positive happiness and enjoyment.
In nine cases out of ten where you see a
wild youth or a giddy girl, go to their
homes, you will find them cherries, un-
attractive, or perhaps actually disagreea-
BILE.
The nature of youth is excessively
restless; it has longing for action and
excitement, ambitions more or less vain,
and always the irrepressible desire to
know broader life. Repress these nat
ural instincts, and you will be sure to
throw them into any society that in a
measure will crafty their longings.-
Your sons do not go to the public
bar-rooms at first for the taste of the
liquor which they have not as yet ac-
quired; they go for the gay companions
they find there. The influence for good
or evil that mother has over her sons,
the control that she exercises over their
destinies, is a grave responsibility.
Throw open your best room to the chill
dren in the evenings. Have books and
a magazine or two, even if you put away
less money. Stimulate their ambition,
and invent occupations and amusement
for your children. Give them games
and endear yourself to them by sharing
their joys and plays. Encourage then
to be affectionate. Do not with forma
GOODNESS starve them for want ofcaresses

Varied Accomplishment of an
ArmleSS Man.
Boston Transcript.


awrence County, N. :, Kcnard DOH
ovan, who was in some respects one of
the most remarkable men in northern
New York. Twenty years ago, when a
boy, Donovan worked in a flour mill.
One day he was caught in belt and
received injuries that neceSSitated taking
off both arms at the shoulders. This
misfortune did not discourage him, and,
after recovering his health, he set about
earning his livelihood as best he could
without the use of hands or arms. Part
of the time he had lived alone, and
from the necessity of helping himself
he became wonderfully adept in per-
forming all kinds of work, using his feet
and mouth principally. He owned
horse, of which he took the entire care,
harness it, fastened and unfastened the
buckles with his teeth, and drove with
the reins tied around his shoulders.
Being in need of wagon, he bought
wheels and axles, and built a buggy and
painted it. He went to the barn one
winter day and built COW stable, saw
ing the timber with his feet, and, with
the hammerin one foot and holding the
nail with the other, he nailed the boards
on as we'll as most men could do with
their hands. He dug well twelve feet
deep on farm in this town, and stoned
it himself. He could NOW away hay by
holding the fork under his chin and let
ting it rest against his shoulder. He
would pick up potatoes in field as fast
as man could dig them. He would dress
himself, get his meals, write his letters,
and in fact do almost anything that any
man with two arms could do.

Receiving Calls.
Catharine OsOen in Good Housekeeping.

Catharine Osoen in Good Housekeeping.
Iwant to urge every woman who has any
but very intimate friends to have an after
noon to receive calls. Many women of
wealth and social position have adopted
the fashion, perhaps at first because it
was a fashion, but there is great deal
more than that to be said in its favor,
and it is to the busy woman, who has
every moment occupied with household
duties and yet keeps her hold on social
life, who will find it saving OF time and
means of snatching some passing pleas
ure and repose, from what otherwise is
an occasional vexation whom the custom
would help most. The advantage of a
receiving day is often fully understood,
but women who make no social preten-
sion shrink from it for fear of being
thought "airy," or aping fashion, but it
it just these women who might look on
it as an absolute duty to themselves, and
as real kindness to their friends.
How many of us have an acquaint-
ance, who is both agreeable and would
be welcome, call on us just as we are
doing something that we are nervously
anxious to finish, or that requires our un-
divided attention fortunate if we are
not in the middle of some delicate cook
ing that will spoil by leaving it. There
are then but two things to do-ask our
visitor right into the kitchen or work
room or leave everything and 60 to her
just as we are, anything is better than to
keep her waiting. If we do the first, she
will know that she has just come at the
wrong time, and feel that she is intrud-
ing in spite of your assurance that you
wish her to stay, and in fact if you go on
buSily with your occupation you really
cannot enjoy her visit, while if you leave
everything, you will show the marks per-
haps of being very busy, and you will
wander to the oven that was just right,
and is now cooling, or the work that you
wanted to finish SO specially to-day in
any case you do not enjoy the visit, and
your visitor will feel that you have been
very polite, but that she might have chos
en- better time.
By having "day" you do away
with all this, and you save time. You
know the afternoon or evening when your
friends will call, and you arrange accord
ingly. You need lose time only for
that day; you will have no exacting work
in hand you will be dressed and ready,
and stocking darning or small mending,
although not parlor work, may be left
to pick up and can be put away without
mental anxiety when visitors arrive, if
you have made it known that you have
given up this day, (and you can pleas
antly also give your reasons) you may
have several calls at one time, while
otherwise each would have come sepa-
rately and take your time. Your callers
will probably enjoy meeting each other,
and you with your mind quite free, will
be at your best.

'sNever Trouble Trouble -

There is foe that watches
Your comfort to destroy,
Assuming shapes of evil
To interrupt your joy;
To keep him at distance
Should be your purpose true,
So "never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you"
Each day he may remind you
Of sorrow that's in store;
Each day with hints and shadows,
Perplex you all the more;
But go not forth to meet him
AS many people do,
And "never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles youw
lis time enough to worry
When misery appears;
'Tis time enough for weeping,
When there's some excuse for tears;
So ever at the fountain
Of prayer your faith renew,
And "never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you'
For they who borrow trouble
Are never out of debt,
Ger every fancid evil
They worry, fume and fret;
And if you would be happy,
tssnther course pursue
And "never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles youw
Anticipating pleasure
May give relief from pain;
Anticipating sorrow
Is never any gain;
And if you would be cheerful
In mind and body, too,
Then "never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you!"

Women-Insane Asylums.

The Indiana Insane Asylum at In
dianapolis is reaping the benefit of
having man and his wife take charge
of ward as attendants. One ward
was at first tried, now eight ara SO at
tended. In addition to this, the exper-
lment of having a matron upon the
back wards--or wards in which the
most violent patients are kept-has
been successfully tried. Four women
are so employed at this time, with a
very decided improvement in the COM
fort and cleanliness of the wards, and
the conduct of the patients, who are
more tidy in their personal habits; the
more violent are better ruled by q
woman's voice and persuasion than by
any other influence. A female super
visor likewise attends to male wards,
and administers all medicines, inspects
bedding, clothing, etc.
There is also school in the depart
ment for men, which is in charge of
two lady teachers, which is highly
successful. This was undertaken after
trial of school in the department
for women. which proved decided
benefit to the one hundred and sew
enty-five women who attended.
The board are asked to provide that
females declared insane, who can not
,c brought to the hospital by their i'm
nediate relatives, shall be taken to
and fro by a skilled female attendant
o. the hospital, and only the actual ex-
pensc of such transfers be charged
this would be saving Of fifty per cent.
